S 600 Series: Servo-Auxiliary Self-Steering
The S 600 is a high-performance windvane system designed for larger vessels, combining the sensitivity of a servo-pendulum with the power of a dedicated auxiliary rudder.
Core Advantages
-
Mechanical Efficiency: The auxiliary rudder provides maximum leverage for course correction from the stern, allowing the main rudder to be locked to counteract weather helm.
-
Modular Design: The entire servo unit can be removed in seconds. Both the servo and auxiliary rudders feature a lift-up function for easy docking or protection.
-
Compact Integration: A streamlined design that minimizes the increase in the vessel’s overall length (LOA).
-
Flexible Installation: Engineered for versatile mounting, including off-center (offset) positions to accommodate various transom layouts.
Technical Features
-
Adaptability: Fully customizable lengths for the air vane mast, pendulum shaft, and tiller arm to fit each specific boat.
-
Integrated Autopilot Support: Includes a standard pin fitting for Autohelm or Simrad cockpit autopilots on the windvane arm.
-
Advanced Controls: Adjustable vane for light or strong winds, central fixing position, and variable power transmission.
-
Safety & Protection: Built-in overload protection and a swinging rudder system (pm 170 circ).
Material Specifications
-
Chassis: 100% seawater-resistant aluminum alloy.
-
Bearings: High-durability POM sliding bearings; maintenance-free and exceptionally soft-running.
